| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in dark blue, gold, red, and green on a cream ground. The central field carries the Lichtenfels civic coat of arms — a heraldic shield on a teal ground showing two candlesticks flanking a rocky formation — set within a large circular medallion surmounted by a mural crown and flanked by the curved inscription 'Stadt Lichtenfels'. Decorative side panels to the left and right each contain a wicker basket overflowing with flowers rendered in golden tones. The denomination '50 Pfennig' and a serial number appear in the upper border strip, and the validity clause 'Gültig bis zur Einlösung.' is printed in bold Gothic lettering across the lower border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Lichtenfels was a small Franconian market town best known for its basket-weaving trade, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to address the severe small-change shortage that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank had effectively abandoned the lower denominations to local improvisation.
Heinz Schiestl, a Würzburg-based artist with strong ties to Catholic book illustration and woodcut revival, contributed designs to numerous Notgeld series during this period. J. Adolf Schwarz in Lindenberg handled a substantial volume of Notgeld printing for Bavarian and Swabian municipalities through 1920–1921.
